TO MARY BOYLE
121
xii.
And you, that now are lonely, and with Grief
    Sit face to face,
Might find a flickering glimmer of relief
    In change of place.

xiii.
What use to brood? this life of mingled pains
    And joys to me,
Despite of every Faith and Creed, remains
    The Mystery.

xiv.
Let golden youth bewail the friend, the wife,
    For ever gone.
He dreams of that long walk thro' desert life
    Without the one.
